REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the recommend Council approve an amendment to the former City of
Cumberland Rural Zoning By-law to change the zoning on part of Part of 2123
Devine Road from GR, General Rural to
Rs3(H1), Residential Serviced Three - Holding Zone as
shown in Document 1.
RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de recommande au Conseil d'approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage rural de
l'ancienne Ville de Cumberland, de manière à faire passer le zonage d'une
partie du 2123, chemin Devine de GR, Rural général, à Rs3(H1), Résidentiel
viabilisé trois - zone d'aménagement différé, tel qu'illustré dans le Document 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject property, 2123 Devine Road, is currently being used for agriculture and contains farm buildings, a single family home and accessory buildings. It is located on the north side of Devine Road at the easterly limit of the Village of Vars. The property is approximately 39 ha in size, 12 of which are located within the Village boundary.
The subject property is split between two zones. The western half of the portion located within the Village boundary is zoned Rs3(H1), Residential Serviced – Holding Zone, which allows for Single Detached Dwellings, whereas the rest of the property is zoned GR, General Rural. The purpose of the Holding Provision is to ensure that the lands may eventually be used subject to the requirements of the Rs3 Zone. To ensure that development of the lands meets proper lot and street layout, a subdivision or consent application must be approved prior to the removal of the Holding Provision.
The purpose of the amendment is
to rezone the eastern half of the portion located within the Village boundary
from GR, General Rural to Rs3(H1), Residential Serviced – Holding Zone to
permit residential development.
The portion of the property to be rezoned is
designated Village in the Official Plan.
This designation allows for a wide range of housing forms to meet the
needs of the Village’s population. The
form and scale of development in Villages is limited by the available servicing
method.
The
proposed Zoning By-law amendment will be in keeping with Amendment 56 to the
Official Plan of the Cumberland Planning Area – Rural Section, the purpose of
which was to extend the boundary of the Village of Vars following the
completion of The Village of Vars Development Plan in 1995. This plan estimated that 300 new dwelling
units, in addition to the existing 260, could be accommodated by the Village’s
new water system. Among the 300 new
units, 28 were estimated to be located on the subject lands. To date, 154
new residential lots have been approved within the Village boundary. The maximum number of lots allowed on the
subject portion of the property will have to be determined through the
subdivision approval process.
The Holding Provision is not to
be removed until final approval of a plan of subdivision.
The Official Plan policies, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority regulations and special conditions to be imposed through the subdivision approval process will ensure that impacts of development along the watercourse that runs from north to south on the subject property will be mitigated.
The proposed rezoning of these lands for residential purposes will provide an opportunity to accommodate rural growth in a relatively compact form. New residential development will enhance the economic vitality of the Village of Vars.
